Thank you Charlottesville, for filling your grocery carts at Whole Foods on September 16th.  Community Day at Whole Foods generated over $4,400 for PACEM’s homeless shelters, helping us provide “A Pillow for Every Head“.

We are grateful to Whole Foods Market for this opportunity.

Volunteers: The Heart & Soul of PACEM

Volunteers bring the warmth of human companionship to our homeless guests. And, when the office work load is particularly heavy, volunteers assist PACEM’s small staff.

Our thanks to Grace Covenant Church, for  assembling manuals for our volunteer orientation  and for making t-shirts were used at Whole Foods 5% Day.

Volunteers are the heart and soul of PACEM’s community shelter system!
